What is Japanese philosophy Ichinichi-Ichizen（一日一善）, and how might this concept change our world peacefully?

Growing up in Japan, my parents always encouraged me to practice "Ichinichi ichizen" (一日一善) every day. They taught me that doing something good for myself, others, or the world would help me grow, and that if everyone practiced this, our world would become more peaceful, kind, and respectful.

The concept of Ichinichi ichizen originates from Rokudomangyo (六度万行), also known as Rokuharamitsu (六波羅蜜), which are practices believed to bring happiness into our lives. "Roku" means six in Japanese, referring to the following six concepts:

1. Fuse (布施): Donation or Koha – Giving to others.

2. Jikai (持戒): Following our promises and taking action – Upholding commitments.

3. Ninniku (忍辱): Regulating emotions – When upset, managing emotions to find logical solutions rather than acting impulsively.

4. Shojin (精進):Working hard – Diligently striving to achieve goals, whether through work or study.

5. Zenjou (禅定):Living in the present moment – Focusing on the now, instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

6. Chie (智慧): Wisdom – Integrating all of the above concepts into daily life to foster personal growth.

I truly believe that by changing ourselves, we can inspire a positive transformation in the world around us.

I hope you enjoy your Ichinichi ichizen.
